CHPAMS established the Rising Scholar Best Paper Award in November 2016 to recognize outstanding peer review publications authored by CHPAMS members who are in their early career stage. A six-member Award Committee completed a thorough review of all eight applications and selected the winner for the first CHPAMS Best Paper Award. The winning paper, "The effect of air pollution on mortality in China: Evidence from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games", estimates the causal effect of air pollution on mortality in China in a quasi-experimental design. The paper was published on the September 2016 issue of Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, a leading journal in environmental economics.
